Watershed Restoration
Building a Cleaner James River
JRA teamed up with Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Virginia and Virginia Tech in spring 2006 in an effort to protect and conserve water quality through the evaluation of local development codes and ordinances. Thirty-one counties and 14 cities within the James River watershed were analyzed using the Code and Ordinance Worksheet (COW) developed by the Center for Watershed Protection (www.cwp.org).
The results were reported back to JRA in a narrative report that included an overall score for each locality as well as the students' recommendations to promote Better Site Design. The scores for each local government can be found through the link below.
